Ready for the adventure of a lifetime?

At Kingdom Rock, kids discover how to stand strong for God! Kingdom Rock is filled with incredible faith-formation experiences kids see, hear, touch, and even taste! Arts and Crafts, team-building games, cool faith-filled songs, play-acting Gospel stories, and tasty treats are just a few of the royally rockin’ activities that help faith flow into real life. We’ll help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life - something we call God Sightings. The kids will also participate in a hands-on mission project, collecting money to help Feed My Starving Children, which provides food packs for starving children throughout the world. Throughout the week the kids will discover that with God’s help they can always “Stand Strong!”

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a wonderful opportunity for children to experience God’s love in their lives in an exciting, fun format.

They learn more about God through Bible stories, videos, songs, crafts, creative dramatics, games, and even special snacks!

St. Celestine Parish usually offers VBS for a week at the end of June each year. VBS is for students who are entering kindergarten to the end of 3rd grade.

Our next Vacation Bible School for the Year 2012-2013 will be on
